Chapter 1418: 1417 left early
Tan Rou’s eyelid twitched, as she thought the princess was truly foolish. Being the King, he would definitely loathe someone threatening him with another person, especially when that person wielded significant power.
Prince Busodi’s power might not surpass the King’s, but according to Lin Yu’s analysis, the King definitely had some vulnerability that Prince Busodi was privy to. If Prince Busodi were to use that vulnerability to threaten the King, the King would likely become even more enraged.
Tan Rou was somewhat worried. She did not want to see internal strife within the royal family of J country just yet, as she and her team had just arrived there. She needed to stay for at least a month, and her teammates might need to stay for over a year. If a conflict erupted within J country, it would definitely affect them.
Seeing the King silent, Princess Monica became even angrier. She ignored the etiquette and rushed in front of the King, shouting, “Your Majesty the King, please give me justice and drive this foreign woman out. This is our country, how can we allow foreigners to roam freely? And this Lin Yu, he is no good either. Quickly send him away.”
The King hated being told what to do the most, and he would definitely not entertain Monica’s request.
Monica was dissatisfied with his reaction and once again made a threatening remark, “Your Majesty the King, if my husband were here, he certainly would not allow me to be bullied.”
The King glanced at her and said, “How has she bullied you? If you cannot produce any evidence, then stop causing a scene here.”
Tan Rou felt the King was too lenient towards Monica, for he hadn’t even uttered a harsh word. If she were the King, she certainly would not have let Monica off easily, at least scolding her to temper her temper.Update by n0vgo. co
Monica felt deeply humiliated and pointed directly at the King, saying, “If you don’t drive them out today, I am not leaving!”
Laka and Samiyi were furious to see Monica pointing at the King.
Laka abruptly stood up from his chair and challenged, “Monica, what madness is this now?”
Monica sneered, “I finally understand why you invited me here—it was to make a fool of me, right? You always mock me as an illiterate, yet you invited me to a poetry session, and now you have arranged for a foreign woman to bully me. Isn’t this mockery?”
Princess Samiyi patiently said, “Monica, we invited you here not to mock you. On the contrary, I respect you. Since I invited others, I could not exclude you. So even though you cannot write poetry, I still invited you.”
Monica would not listen to Samiyi’s so-called nonsense—her husband had long stated that the King’s family were all bad people, and their words should not be trusted.
“I don’t believe it, you invited me just to mock me,” Monica said. “You two vile foreigners, just wait, once my husband returns, I will make sure he teaches you a lesson.”
“Enough!” the King said very angrily. “Princess Monica is ill again. Take her away for treatment, and without my permission, she is not allowed to step half a foot into the palace.”
Monica glared at the King. “Your Majesty the King, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to drive me out? When my husband returns…”
The King did not let Monica finish, “Hurry up, if you delay Princess Monica’s treatment, Prince Busodi will not spare you.”
The maidservants were terrified and quickly carried Monica away, regardless of whether she wanted to leave or not.
After Monica left, the King’s expression became even more unpleasant. He clenched his fists and said, “Carry on without me.”
With that, the King stood up from his seat, swayed slightly, and then slowly left the venue.
After he left, a noble’s daughter said, “Monica really is not good for anything, ruining a perfectly good gathering just like that.”
Another noble’s daughter remarked, “Look how pale she made His Majesty the King.”
Tan Rou also noticed the King’s expression. He was indeed angry, but as a court physician, she also noticed a trace of frailty on his face. Could it be that the King was ill?
